Carnival parades & floats throught the old & new town. Fun for the kids.

Easter Week & charming parades through the old town on Thursday & Friday. Well worth a visit.
V -Toro Embolao.
Easter Sunday. Not to be missed. 2 x half ton fighting bulls are let loose in the streets of Vejer @ 1200 & 1600. Complete havoc & parties in the streets. Not for the squeamish.
V - Feria de Primavera.
The Spring Fair starts a week after Easter. Horse parades & traditional dancing during the day & lively 'casetas' at night. There is also an agricultural show of livestock & horses & of course a funfair. In S. Miguel (new town)
24 June - Candela de San Juan.
At midnight in the Plaza de España a dummy bull runs through the crowds with fireworks exploding off its back. Preceded by bonfires & the traditional burning of effigies in San Miguel (new town).
10-24 August - Velada de la Oliva.
Another religous festival & more excuses for drinking & dancing. This festival lasts 14 days. Every night in the Plaza de España there is either a concert, flamenco singing or a show. Very much a 'local' affair. Processions of the patron Virgin on the 10th. & 15th.
